LG BD390 Wireless only in same room? Does anyone have their router and BD390 working in seperate rooms?

I just picked up one of these today. I had no problems connecting to the wireless router (2WIRE) in another room. Good luck getting it to work.

When it works, it seems to have decent range. I have a 4 bedroom house. Router is upstairs in farthest room. One camera is on the other side of house in kitchen bi say when it works because it's real nice all around when it's up and running But it seems every time I leave and go remote, they go off line. I don't know if it's a temp thing or what. But it's frustrating and defeats the purpose

I bought the JBL Cinema SB300 and set it up today. I've had no problem with the wireless pairing or my wireless router. My $.02.

I have mine located next to my router on the 1st floor of our 2-story house. I have Sirius Wi-Fi radios located both outside in the back yard, about 15 yards from the unit, and upstairs in the Master Bedroom, about the same distance from the unit, and with floors and walls in between. Both get "very good" signal strength. I also have 2 Wi-Fi "smart" Blu Ray players located within that same range (15 yards), and they work perfectly too. I believe I could get a good signal at ranges of up to 75 feet. So far, not a single problem.

1st. This is WiFi device and not a BT.2nd. Fully agree with doctor T. rplaced 2 of those and finally switched and successfully using Ubiquiti Networks UniFi AP http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UniFi-Enterprise-System/dp/B004XXMUCQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1408578990&sr;=1-1&keywords;=ubiquiti

I am getting this message and am using a Netgear g/n router. Wired is no problem. But I haven't been successful with the wireless yet.

Would like to know which would be the best wireless router to use with the Samsung BD player P3600 as I would like to buy the player and want to avoid problems.Samsung BD-P3600 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player

Yes, I have two units, one for the wireless phone and one for my modem/router combo. Buyer beware, the unit has been out of production for 10 years, I had to change the batteries on both units before they would work.

Mine is located 3 rooms away on the other side of the house and it seems to be working OK. As the Wireless G/N only works in the 2.4ghz range, you might want to check for other interference sources - primarily cordless phones & microwaves that work on the same frequency. Also you might want to check to make sure the player isn't sitting particular close to a speaker and that you have decent, shielded A/V cables and a good surge protector.

I'm trying to do the exact same thing. I have a Sony BDP N460, a blu ray player with an ethernet port but no wireless. First let me suggest what I'm currently using. The Netgear XAV101 PowerLine AV (look for the product that includes two units) which sends internet through your existing power wires. You connect an ethernet cable from your router to one of these devices plugged in to an outlet. Then take the second device and plug it in where you want internet access. Ideally you can get about 150 Mbps (when I connected to the next room). But where I need to go is across the house and the speed is at best 47 Mbps. The bottom line however is that it totally works. I can stream Netflix content (in HD) no problem. The quality is noticeable reduced, but definitely watchable, and for content you're not going to watch on blu ray disc anyways, might not be an issue. Now for the question at hand, I just received this item you are asking about. I was hoping it would grab internet wirelessly from my wireless N router. I'm thinking that yes another one may be required. For just under twice as much there is this product http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00126R3P6/ which includes two wireless bridges. This may be what we're looking for. I can't understand why there isn't simply a single device that will connect wirelessly to my wireless router and give internet access to a network device. But maybe it's possible if the tech said so. I hope so otherwise I'm spending more money and I want to stick with Netgear because my experience and the general consensus is that their devices are more reliable than others. And I just noticed the post is a year old. Well maybe this will help someone.

I've had similar issues with connectivity, intermittently and usually for no discernible reason... It's literally worked in one outlet, but not the one right next to it or across the room a bit. I've never seen a purple light and didn't see anything about it in the instruction manual. I can say this... I've had two Belkin products (the extender and a regular router) go out within months of each other and under the warranty time. I spent 15 minutes trying to get them to honor it, while speaking with someone who couldn't understand me. I cut my losses and went with ASUS products. Sorry if this is not much of a help.

How well this works at creating a local network depends on the kind of connectivity you want between the devices (peer-to-peer should work, but if you're trying to "feed" the BD player to all 3 at the same time or some other configuration, I think a router is preferred) and what kind of connection you want to the outside world (to share an internet connection you'll need a router, not just this switch). This won't support wireless without a wireless bridge of some sort. Given these two needs (ensuring good sharing and supporting a wifi connection) I think a wireless router would meet your needs better. I have found switches (I use the 8-port version of this router) work best at adding new wired connections to a network that already has a router as "traffic cop".

I also had problems with the BD 390 and the Dir 655 N series. Purchased the new router and could connect the 390 to the network, but could not download streaming video. Reinstalled my old DI 524 G series router and was able to stream from Netflix. Connection with the G series is quirky and sometimes it will not connect, but when it does it will stream in HD mode if available for the movie. I had hoped to improve this with the faster N series, but ended up returning the 655 router. I personally think LG has some firmware bugs that need to be worked out.

If you plugged in both units and connected the smaller of the two units to your router with an ethernet cable then it should work. No setup was required for me once I understood the small one is wired to the router and the big one goes far away where I want the wifi coverage improved. I had done the opposite (big one wired to router and small one far away where I needed improved coverage). The other thing is to try different power outlets, and look at what the lights are telling you about signal strength coming to the remote unit.

I just purchased a BD390 and since it is in the room with the rest of the A/V equipment, I'd like to connect it wirelessly to the Westell 327W router that came with my Verizon DSL. I followed the on-screen setup instructions, and can see that the player senses the router (calling it by name and registering a strong signal) but all attempts to actually connect have failed. And neither the "Push Button" and "Manual" methods as instructed on-screen seem to relate to anything doable or enterable on the router. Anybody have ideas about what I need to do? I can always run a 50-foot ethenet cable through the attic, but what a hassle. Thanks!

I am unaware of possible problem with N routers. Could be that radio wifi receiver only works with B/g but unlikely. Are you sure you are inputting passcode correctly?

It could be so many things, but it's interesting that you're using a Linksys router. I initially tried using a Linksys ethernet hub and it didn't work. I then switched to a DLink wireless bridge and have had no issues with it. The DLink connects with my Airport Extreme base station just fine. I wonder if the BD300 has a Linksys issue.
